How do these practically zombified 70-80 year olds conduct political business? It's something I've been wondering for a long time. When my grandmother was 75, she was getting too old to do even basic tasks like cooking meals. Now we have mfs in office in the US that are 80+. How do they even travel the world, talk to high ranking officials in other countries and still do their duties that 40-50 year olds would probably get winded by? Are they just like avatars with aides that do literally everything for them behind the scenes? Maybe we should get some younger peeps in there who are a lot less likely to go into cardiac arrest at any moment.
Do you have giant hands or is the Deck just smaller than I realized?
In a Christian school the moral of that story is if God tells you to commit an atrocity then you must commit an atrocity.

He’s even handling getting Covid better than Trump. None of this being hospitalised and nearly dying nonsense
No I’m not. I’m arguing that if there is a god he has knowingly and willfully used his omnipotence and omniscience to create suffering when it’s not necessary. Whether or not that is evil is obviously subjective but what isn’t is that God must allow differing unnecessarily or he isn’t omnipotent.
If I were omniscient and I had to power to end suffering with no negative consequences I obviously would.
It doesn’t depend on my opinion, it depends on God’s, and the Bible tells us rape is surely evil.
Fine. Then, from your God's perspective, what is the point of all this?
designed us to murder, rape, enslave and exploit each other
It’s nonsense. Assuming omnipotence, there is no need for lessons, wisdom, pain or strife. All of the wisdom that we gain from those things, he could imbue us with. Allowing children to be raped is beyond reprehensible and could only be for his own curiosity or enjoyment. If any human allowed a girl to be raped, had the capability to prevent it, didn’t but felt bad you, would tell them to get fucked and do something next time. You only let your skyfather off the hook because it’s a cultural artifact you were raised with.
The department says that drivers will still be able to override such systems by pushing harder on the throttle pedal.
The arguement is that God could have created a universe where people had free will, evil did not exist and everyone felt completely fulfilled. Instead he chose to create this universe. Pretty shitty choice by God.
What does Rushy do?
God throws his hands up and says, "Meh. Free will." then turns around a walks out while closing the door behind Him.
Always love that one. Yep, she chose to be raped of her own free will.Dude, you are being deliberately obtuse.
It's not her free will I'm talking about, it's the rapists.
OK so yes, God could have stopped that.
So then God would have to stop everyone from doing anything sinful - you can't draw a line between what we might see as the petty stuff and the really bad stuff. To God it's all bad and we either have free will or we don't.
Can you see how that wouldn't be a particularly fulfilling experience as a human?
I'm not sure if the Bible really says why God gave us free will but my take is that it's the only way He could give us a choice about having a relationship with him. A relationship without choice is meaningless.
Of course the whole free will excuse is talking about the rapist. The point is, the girl never made a choice. She didn't choose to be raped. She executed no free will yet the kind, loving, caring, benevolent God doesn't give a shit about what happens to her. You can say the same thing about children born with birth defects. God doesn't give a shit if you are born and have to live your life as a vegetable. It's all good. Oh, and if your miserable existence that you made no choice to have and God didn't prevent causes you to question Him and not obediently follow him then fuck you, off to hell you go.
Can you see how that wouldn't be a particularly fulfilling experience as a human?
Yes, life without being able to rape 5 year old girls without being struck down by lightning wouldn't be a particularly fulfilling experience as a human.
I don’t think that’s why female leagues have cropped up. It’s also not bigotry to acknowledge that men have biological advantages in most athletics.
QuoteA female human can do anything a male human can do. To say otherwise is bigotry. Pure and simple. Full stop.
No one said women can’t do anything a man can and as mentioned most professional leagues don’t have a sex requirement.
Yeah I was being tangential to your shitpost. Incredible that your response is to shitpost again. There are no league’s with gender requirements either, so it’s no big deal either way. It’s almost like the issue with trans people is a bigoted moral panic. Fortuna can tell you more if you are interested.
There should only be one league for every sport. Gender itself is bigotry and should not exist.
Thanks for the shitpost. Interestingly enough, most team sports leagues do not put restrictions on which sexes can compete in them. If you are a female and good enough to play MLB, then there is no rule against it. There are probably a bunch of social barriers to jump though.
